sickness I'm the country.

Reports from the country indicate that
there is at this time more than the usual
amount of sickness prevailing. Most Of
these troubles seem to arise from an in'
pure condition of the blood, caused by
an excessive secretion of bile. This
causes fevers of bilious character, and
we regret to say that in some places il
has as proved very iatai: we e there tnereiort ore

Harris Blood and Liver Pills are entirely

at this season of the year.

The TOBACCO MARKET.

On account of the exceeding warm
and damp weather for the past few
days prices have fallen off a few
points. Buyers are shy in conse-
quence of the high case in which
they get it. Much on hand with
them for short time in this condi-
ton might cause considerable
loss. A cold spell would no doubt
cause a perceptible rise in prices
A large quantity is coming in, the
planters seem in good spirits and
with few exceptions are satisfied
with sales those who are not, inva-
riably have common offerings. II
is more apparent that those who
plant small crops and cure well
make the most money. The ware
housemen are working hard, receiv.
ing and disposing of the crops.

to place the election of County
Commissioners and Magistret tes in
the hands of the people, the Cons
Inissioners to be bonded officers in
the sum of 5000, and the Magis-
trates to give bond in the sum of
81, 1,O00.-[SpeciaI Dispatchto Citizen.]
When before in the history of
North Carolina were these officers,
County Commissioners and Magis-
trates, considered as other than
officers of honor and trust, or it
deemed necessary to exclude any
from their enjoyment for the want
ofamoney qualification orto exclude
men who could not or would not give
bonds in the penal sums of $1,000
or 81 600 respectively-for the priv
ilege ct discharging thankless and
ndos squently unappreciated du-
ties 10 society. This is Parthian
arrow Mr.. Pearson, in full retreat
after discontinue and defeat in his
vain efforts to reVolutionize the
County Government system of the
State, sends kissing back at our
present Board of County Commis-
sioners. He would empty the walls
of his wrath on their devoted heads,
make them the scapeegoats to carry
his political sins of omission and
commission into the wilderness.
While these gentlemen cannot count
those bonds and cash in such guam
titles or their cattle upon hundred
hills. In allselse they are his''equals,
and in many of the elements of
manhood and good citizenship they
are his superiors. It is pathetic to
witness such a pitiful exhibition of
baf1ed fury and puerile anger. VIII
his malignity of temper and person
al dislikes never be satisfied.
The offering ofthis bill is an act
of bad faith to Mr.. Pearson's negro
allies and Republican confreres in
the Legislature. He knows full
well that few negroes in the eastern
counties, if elected to these offices,
could give bonds in the penal sums
required by his bill, and that it Yir-
tually disqualifes them from hold
ing these offices. At the same time
the fimsy texture of this measure
refuses to conceal Mr.. Pearson s
contempt for the poor white men in
the mountains of the West.
Hard earned and easily ac-
atkS3d Tealth is a-blessingi but
wealth that comes suddenly often
has different and opposite effect
npon certain minds, causing them
to assume the disguises of friend
ship and great solicitude for the
welfare OF honest poverty, e0hen et
votes to secure some ambitions end,
or crafty some strong personal
feeling. This proposed law would
place the poor white men in the
West, who have character, knowl-
edge of public affairs, and every
qualification except money, to fill
these Offices, upon the same footing
as the ignorant, ,illiterate and unqual-
ified negroes in the eastern counties
excluding both alike on account
of their poverty and inability to
command this money qualification.
Mr.. Pearson is learning new les
sons in State craft from his Repubz
lican allies. These ways are
more congcnial to the Republican
climes of Massachusetts, Rhode Is
land and Pennsylvania, than to
North Carolina. For ways that are
dark, and tricks that are gain, in
politics, Mr.. Richmond Pearson is
entitled to the cake, bakery and
all.

TEMPERANCE READING.
PLAYING DRuNKARD.

Jones was kind, good-natured man as one
might wish to see,
he had a buxom, tidy wife ana pright-eyed chill
dlen three;
But Jones was weak in one respect-he had
love for rum,
And often from the drinking-shop would stag
gering homeward come.
His good wife grieved to see him thus, but bore
all patiently,
And prayed and hoped that in some way he
would reformed be.
She never wavered in her faith but toiled with
hand and brain,
And in the end with joy she found her prayers
were not in vain.
Thus it occurred: One Sunday morn, while
Jones lay on the floor
Sleeping away the outcome of his spree the
night BEFORE
His wife had gone to church to pray that his
reform might come,
Leaving, with much regret, her ill-clad little
ones at home
When passed away the lethargy caused by the
flowing bowl,
Jones gazed around and saw sight which
shocked his very soul.
His eldest child, boy of six with frowzy un-
kempt hair,
Was staggering around the room with idiotic
stare,
The VIII lie his other little ones laughed loudly
in their glee,
His grimaces and founderings, and antics
queer to see
Tn only playing drunk, he said, to initiate
papa,
But if I had some liquor, could do it better
far.
But children amt allowed to drink, so know
what I'll do,
I'll wait TIL grow up and then I'll be drunk
ard, too
81 reckon not" Jones muttered, with Heav-
EMS help I'll try
To do my duty after this in strict sobriety
My eyes shall ne er again behold scene so sad
as this;
Come here. my precious little ones, and give
papa a Sss!"
When Mrs. Jones came home from charch he
met her at the door,
And tenderly embracing her, said; "Wife, I'll
drink no more.''
She saw the truth shine in his eyes and wept
for very joy,
But never knew the change was wrought by her
unthinking boy.

voice 4illed the re ON and rolled in rich
melody out upon the air windows and
doors were filled with eager faces,
anxious to lose no note of the entrance
ing music.
''Who could size bep"
"Such music / never heard before"
one and another said; and, after play
ing and singing several brilliant
pieces, Mrs. Mcdonald left the piano.
She was overwhelmed with COM
pliments and entreaties to remain and
give lessons in music. A class of
dozen was volunteered on the spot,
but Mrs. j. quietly shook her head.
''Mrs. Mcdonald must feel graft
fed, but her friends in Washington
were expecting her."
Some we ks later Mrs. j. met her
friend, Lawyer f.
1--WE heard from Mrs. Mcdonald"
she said. "She has a fine position,
and is doing splendidly, and such a
grateful creature"
"Weu she may be. Mrs. j. What
do you suppose the ladies of Nashville
would say if they knew that the
wonderful genius they went wild over
and whom you chaperoned so success
fully was drunk in the guard-house
that very morningP"
Poor creaturer said Mrs. j. "She
was in the coils of the serpent. The
city set the snare and she fell as thous-
ands of her lordly brothers have. She
lost her money in the drinking-places,
and they arrested her for being just
what they made her. 1 simply did my
duty, and would have done the some
if every lady in the city had turned
against me-"
Was she not heroic woman?-HrS.
